Toyga soup

Okay little one, today we're going to talk about a yummy soup called "tofu soup." Tofu is a food made from soybeans that is very popular in some countries, especially in Asia. People make tofu by mashing up soybeans and then shaping the mashed beans into little white squares that look a bit like cheese.

Now, tofu soup is just like regular soup, but with lots of tofu in it! People usually make it by cooking tofu with some broth (which is a liquid made from boiling vegetables or meat) and some other yummy things like vegetables, mushrooms, or even meat.

When you eat tofu soup, you get lots of nutrients like protein (which helps your body grow strong), vitamins (which help your body do lots of different things), and minerals (which your body needs to stay healthy). Plus, it tastes really good, especially with some soy sauce or other seasonings.

So next time you see some tofu soup, remember that it's a yummy, healthy food that can help you grow big and strong!
